Paris Olympics and Paralympics 2024 - Journalism Workshop By Ms Juliette Kudlikowski, FS Primary Deputy Head

From Thursday April 11th to Friday April 19th, 2024, all the primary classes of the French Section took part in a journalism workshop aimed at creating a collaborative magazine about the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. They were assisted by sports journalist Sophie Greuil who has covered 14 Olympic Games in her career. Each class was responsible for producing two to three pages for the collaborative newspaper. This included writing articles, creating illustrations, and page layout. The pages created by each class were brought togeth er to form a collaborative magazine reflecting the stu dents’ varied perspectives on the Olympic and Paralym pic Games. With an artistic direction team made of six CM2 students and one CM1 student, they designed the layout and stayed after school to finish the now pub lished 40 page magazine. Students had the amazing opportunity to interview Dominique Hervieu, Cultural Director of Paris 2024, Mounir Biba, 13 times break dancer world champion, Mister Nixon and two of our school athletes.

It was heartwarming to see the pride in the students’ eyes when they were able to own their copy of the magazine they created. An experience they will remember!
